I was in early position with JsJd, blinds 100/200. I bet 700, all folds except the small blind - he calls. Flop comes 8d,5d,7d. He checks, I raise, he moves all in, and I call. He shows 8s,5c. I didn't catch any diamonds, two pairs, or a Jack. Now, did he misplay his hand?

I think the truth is that I don't go on tilt when he shows me a set of K's or AK, but I'm totally miffed about QJs. I think that's the reality. I think that on the flop, against a min c/r, I'm way behind the expected range here - and therefore, you're right, it's a fold.<br /><br />The The Poker Meisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289059101454598371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-79446482736107665632012-10-16T11:21:14.042-04:002012-10-16T11:21:14.042-04:00As far as the AJ hand, of course it's profitab...As far as the AJ hand, of course it's profitable if he calls with a 7 outer, but I just don't think that's a lot his range here. In order to make the move profitable against his range of possible hands, I think you have to have some fold equity, and I don't think you have any.steeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703447613552799266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-91219932563563051162012-10-15T23:15:34.056-04:002012-10-15T23:15:34.056-04:00Poker player: know thyself!

Those kinds of set ups are too easy to be busted or robbed. I've heard numerous stories over the years, and, coupled with the usual lack of security measures, are not worth the risk for the working professional like you or me.

He game me a link (www.allinenterprises.org). I just checked it out. They are running an event this Sunday at 11:00 in Penn Quarter. Looks legit. You ever hear of this before?<br /><br />-PPPPete P.

I want him calling a 7 outter without a doubt. If he gets lucky, he gets lucky. The AQ hand felt like dude was just waiting to put a move on me - especially after talking with his buddy about how aggro I am. I very much felt like he was waiting to put a limp / raise on me, which is why I felt ATC could work here for The Poker Meisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289059101454598371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-7180722719872166562012-10-15T10:01:48.295-04:002012-10-15T10:01:48.295-04:00Hand #1 (AJ): I think one big problem is that you...Hand #1 (AJ): I think one big problem is that your stack is just $160, and in a 3 bet pot it just doesn't leave you much maneuverability. If deeper stacked, a shove is fine, especially against an Asian. Shorter stacked, I think I just fold, as I just don't see the fold equity.
